#28 of Entropy Series

The gang hunts for another piece of the puzzle.

First off, I have to apologize beforehand as this is being (ingeniously!) posted from an iPhone via Bluetooth and an iPad... so a few issues may arise that will be solved soon. My Internet has been down since Friday due to a line being severed in construction but when that is fixed I'll regain normal PC access. Second I'd like to say that I'm doing much, much better health-wise so I've been back at writing! Experience and awesome new friends (you peeps) have taught me that I shouldn't push so hard at the expense of my health, so my schedule will now be more like a guideline than anything else. Lastly, I'm sorry for the delays to those of you who expect weekly chapters, but sadly the aforementioned health issues caused me to push things back a bit.

That all said and done, enjoy eleven thousand words of LtS goodness! I wrote in snippets for the last few weeks and it started adding up. Please, ~please~ let me know if anything is different in my writing style this time. I'm still a bit close to this chapter and I'd like to know how changing my writing habits affects my end results, if at all. Input would be invaluable as I might learn to write more naturally or something. Thanks ahead of time guys! :3

"Uhhhg..." Elliot winced his eyes and then blinked them widely as he absorbed the details of his surroundings. Wherever he was, it hid from the creeping sunlight in the otter's peripheral. The room was a tad chilly on his exposed back, which only brought to attention the fact that Ellie was stark naked and only barely covered by a blanket. Then he noticed the source of warmth in front of him, his eyes finally able to focus on the smooth hair that draped over Ashe's back. "The basement... Better than the street I guess..."

"Ah!..." Ashe squirmed with a grunting moan and revealed another tidbit. As she scooted her hips forward Ashe's thighs gripped and tugged on Ellie's erection, which nestled itself right below her groin. When Ellie tried to pull his morning wood free it only made things worse, the wolf girl clamping her thighs together and whimpering, "No... Ow!..."

"Crap, what did we do last night?" Ashe twitched again as Ellie reached down to more carefully ease himself free, a few more questions coming to light immediately. "Sorry, I don't know what's hurting you Ashe... Wait, why the fuck am I wearing a condom?"

"Mmm... What now?" groaned Ashe as she rolled herself over onto her back.

Ellie acted quickly and rolled flat himself, glad for once that Ashe couldn't see the tent he made in the blanket. As he reached back down to pull the rubber off with a quiet snap he said, "It's nothing... You're sounding pretty bad though, Ashe. Is anything wrong?"

"I'm not sure wh--!!" Ashe cut herself off with a sudden yip and a lash of her tail. "Why does my... uh, bottom... sting?"

Elliot threw the covers down to their legs, the doctor side of him wanting to inspect Ashe for wounds or sores. Upon revealing her young, nude body he immediately regretted that decision, his barely subsiding erection gaining a second wind. "Uh, well..." He went to tie up the condom so he could try his examination again but paused when he noticed it was empty. "Huh. Well you want me to take a look?"

"Nah... No, I um... I'm a hint embarrassed..." Ashe sat up herself and reached about for a point of reference, soon realizing she hadn't knowingly laid down where she normally would. "I'm not certain about my final set of actions last night... or where we are located for that matter."

"Right, forgot you're out of your treats too. Smart mode, engage!" Ellie placed the mostly pointless condom down on the ground and found his clothes. He reached for them and then looked back, a disappointed scowl addressing him from Ashe's face. "Sorry, I didn't mean to make fun of you. We're in the Rivets' basement and you're... well, upside down in your bed if that helps."

Ashe quirked her head and then shuffled herself around on her knees until she faced the other direction. Reaching about again she managed to find a few familiar bookmark items and said, "Yes... Okay, this makes more sense."

Spotting her scanning her surroundings with her paws Ellie stood and asked, "Looking for something in particular?" He stepped into his previous day's panties and then proposed, "Clothes, maybe?"

"No, I'm simply making sure everything's where I normally leave it..." Ashe glided her paws about independently and paused each at different intervals, a frown on her muzzle drooping lower and lower with each snag. "Sorry... I might be here a while without something to divert my attention."

Straightening out his dress after throwing it over his head Elliot mentioned, "Well you might have to do without the drugs a while longer. And I never said I minded you dealing with your blindness." As he fastened the back of his sundress he slowly caught onto Ashe's compulsiveness in her actions, breaking a short silence with, "How about I go grab us some coffee while you get things straight? Sounds good, yes yes?"

"Coffee... Yes, that might... uh..." bumbled out Ashe as she lost herself in her belongings.

"Right right, I'll be back in a jiffy. Maybe think about getting dressed while I'm upstairs though. Your new clothes are right behind you in shopping bags." With that Ellie left Ashe with her privacy and went for the stairs, pausing to spy her reaching for her new wardrobe and smiling as his little attempt to guide her through the day worked. As he hit the door upstairs he noticed it was closed for once, grabbing the handle to also find it was locked. "Huh, don't remember that either."

As Elliot went through the door and closed it quietly behind him Ilaria grinned, "Have a great night, Ellie?"

"You tell me," he huffed back with a sigh. "I don't remember anything after..." Ellie paused a moment to actually recall his last actions and continued, "...well, anything since getting out my car with Ashe downtown."

"Yeah, that'd be the drugs' fault," Adrian spoke up from the living room while he snuggled Iolvin with a couple of warm coffee mugs between them.

Yoyo looked up at the newly-awakened otter and added, "We'd have stopped you from taking any if we were there, but none of us saw when you got that stuff."

"Wait, who's using drugs in my house?" Catherine spoke up from the kitchen as she cooked some eggs and small fish steaks on the stove. "Ielunschra, Iolvin... You two better speak up about this!"

"Mom, it's not us," Ari nervously and cautiously explained. "Ashe has a... well, I can't explain it well but she takes some stuff in moderation to help with it. Nobody else is touching the stuff."

"Except Ellie here last night, for whatever reason," Robyn corrected as she returned from the hallway washroom and sat next to Ari. "And I'm sure he won't try it again, not when Dee has to drive that sweet car home for him."

"Oh... Well good. Just keep an eye on that little girl though. If that becomes a problem we'll need to get her help," Cat compromised as she went back to her cooking.

"I'll look after her, Misses Rivet," Ellie confirmed as he walked over to his sister.

"Cathy, dear. I don't like to sound so... old," requested Cat, a faux frown on her face.

"Right, sorry sorry!" Ellie ducked down to whisper to Dee and softly queried, "So who's condom was it I found on me this morning? It's not one of mine."

Dee raised a paw sheepishly and admitted, "That'd be me, sis. You two were undressing when we helped you downstairs and I didn't want you to do anything you'd regret... so..."

"Regret? DeeDee, what makes you say that?"

Dee looked over to Yoyo and he gave back a nod. "Well, Yoyo told me what you guys did in the club... And I know you get frisky when you can't think straight..."

"So... we made love?" It took a moment for that notion to seat itself in Ellie's mind. "How did it happen? Oh gods... Please tell me it was just me and Ashe..."

As Adrian stared back with his mouth agape and unable to dig up a proper answer Iolvin stepped in and informed, "You and Ashe went at it on a table. And I hate to say it, but Lulu and I were right there so we couldn't help but watch." He quirked a quick frown as he decided to hide their parallel enjoyment from the description of events. "Don't worry though, you stopped yourself from risking pups. Oh, but... How should I say it?" Yoyo sighed and just went with the straight approach. "Is Ashe alright? I think you guys rushed into her first anal experience a bit too fast."

"Yoyo!" Dee scolded in a hushed but still quite loud shout. Adjusting his tone he huffed out, "Be a little more sensitive, will ya'? Ellie..."

"No, I needed to hear that DeeDee," groaned Elliot as he imagined the act in his mind's eye. "Damn those drugs! I was wondering what was bothering her but..." He stopped when he heard a thud against the basement door, waiting to see if Ashe had injured herself when she managed to navigate around the wooden panel the second time. "She's just gonna be in all sorts of pain now. I've got to talk to her about this."

"About what?" Ashe asked as she homed in on Ellie's hushed voice with her over-developed hearing. As she touched a raised paw to Ellie's back she came in for a rearward hug and added, "Sorry. I was attempting to arrange my belongings in a favorable alignment and I realized... Oh wait, I didn't hibernate my laptop... And the headphones are--" She paused and forced herself to get back on track, hunching behind Ellie so the others couldn't see her distress and confusion. "Right, I didn't explain how I prefer my coffee so I wanted to confirm that with you..."

"I made yours yesterday, remember? Two sugars and a splash of cream?" A silent nod against his shoulder told Elliot enough of an answer. "Good, I'll get on that in a minute. Can we talk about something though?"

"Y-yes... Sure..." she meekly replied.

Ellie smiled at the two on the couch and spun around, finding Ashe's shoulder and waist to guide her away from everyone. Leaning in close and maintaining a low voice he asked, "Ashe, do you remember anything about last night? Like how you hurt your... your butt, maybe?"

"No... I don't remember anything since... lunchtime I suppose." The Arctic wolf drooped her ears and ducked her tail down between her legs to ask, "Why? I didn't do anything wrong, did I? I mean... Shit, I didn't betray you... physically... uh... did I?"

"Ashe, I know about your past and the many men in it but none of that matters to me. You didn't do anything wrong." Ellie took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly through his clenched teeth. "My sister says we made love last night. I think the details should be set aside except... well, apparently I took your anal virginity and I wasn't too much a gentleman about it."

"We had intercourse? I can live with my bottom burning if it means we finally managed to do the deed," Ashe suddenly smiled back towards the otter. "So you're alright with us experimenting more then, I take it?"

"Ashe, no..." Ellie sighed and ran a paw through his hair out of frustration. "We weren't ourselves! If I had any of my wits about me I'd have never gone through with it! Besides... I ended up hurting you."

Ashe almost buckled at the knees upon hearing those words, somehow managing to keep herself upright with a sway about her posture. "You... wouldn't?" As tears started welling up in her eyes she shouted, "Why can't you just have sex with me? What's stopping you...? I just... want us to... to show you...!!" Her mental status clashing explosively with her emotions, Ashe nearly shoved Elliot to the ground as she stormed her way towards the hallway washroom.

"Ashe, wait!" Ellie started after the girl but even though she bumped into a few bar stools on the way she made it to the bathroom first. Trying the handle and only confirming his expectation that it was locked he scuffed out, "Crap. Ashe, please open the door."

"The two of you aren't having sex?" Adrian softly pinged to his sister as he came up beside him. "It's not like you haven't done it before, so why suppress it now?"

"I didn't want to mistake lust for love, DeeDee. But Ashe has been pushing more and more for us to make love, and the crap from yesterday happened..."

"And? What about it? You're obviously mad about each other," Dee groaned in disbelief.

"It's just not right! I'll never forgive myself if I just take advantage of that little girl and then decide it was all just a booty call later." Ellie huffed at the brashness of his words, remembering Ashe possessed better than normal hearing. "I love Ashe as she is now, and I don't want to screw around with that just yet. I need time."

"And she needs her lover, dummy." Dee sighed and backed away from his sister. "You don't get it, do you? She's been trying to show you how much she loves you by giving herself to you. Ellie, she isn't trying to screw your brains out; she's trying to become closer to you."

"She's... wanted to be..." Obviously due to Adrian's words piercing the door, the lock on the bathroom clicked off and Ellie immediately grabbed the handle. He swung the door open wide and then suddenly jumped inside and slammed it shut, spotting that Ashe was apparently using the facilities just as much as she was crying. "Sorry... Ugh, I'm an idiot."

"No... you're acting like a gentleman..." Ashe took a ragged breath in an attempt to slow her sobbing and then said, "I cannot expect to force you into having intercourse. If you want to wait, for you... I'll wait."

Elliot dropped to a knee to better line himself up with Ashe's head, ignoring the fact that he could see everything exposed below her waist only mere inches away. "Ashe, I'm ready. I've been waiting for my own selfish reasons, and you deserve better than that. So if you want to have sex, we'll have sex. But only if we both are in the mood, right?"

"I've been in that mood since your penis was rubbing me earlier..." Ashe finished using the toilet but winced a bit when she went to clean herself up. "Ouch... it's still sore but I cannot get my mind off the idea of... masturbating or something like that..."

"Well I offered to take a look and I'm gonna do just that. Don't want to risk an infection or anything." Ellie pulled Ashe's panties and jeans down to her ankles and spread her knees apart. Then he brought his paws forward to inspect both her pucker and her feminine flower commenting, "Looks like some light abrasion... maybe micro-tearing of the smooth tissue. If we make sure you keep it clean it should heal pretty fast, a couple weeks at most."

Ashe tried to close her legs but found Ellie holding her knees apart, causing her to whine, "That's sufficient, right? It's embarrassing, Elliot."

"Well I'll admit I am taking my time. Never really got to take a good look with you tackling me the other times." Ellie smirked to himself at a thought and pulled Ashe's rump forward so that the bulk of her was on the edge of the toilet, close enough that he could spot her wink her lower lips at every breath of warm air from his muzzle. "I never did get a good taste, either..." the otter cooed as he closed that tiniest of gaps and lapped from the bottom upward along Ashe's flower.

"~Elliot~...!" The wolf girl placed her paws on the sides of his head but found herself pulling rather than pushing him back for all the attention he was generously giving. Just as things were really starting to get good, Ellie nudging his tongue deep inside her folds, Ashe whimpered and tensed herself up from a pang of burning pain in her ass. "Gah, it hurts..." she tried to hide under her breath once she'd rode out the temporary pain.

Taking that as a cue, Elliot stopped eating his favorite type of clam meat and lifted his muzzle up to Ashe's. After a quick, tender kiss he apologized, "Sorry, sorry... I thought it might help take your mind off the pain but--"

"I... didn't demand that you stop..." Ashe reached forward and found the side of Ellie's hip then traced her paw around to grip firmly at his ball sack through the cotton of his panties. "It might hurt but... I want to be intimate with you more..."

"But it still hurts, right? That'll take away from the good feelings you'd have." Elliot hunched forward and crouched slightly as he tried to pull Ashe's paw away with his own adding, "Sort of like my balls, actually. Always been a bit sensitive there, beautiful."

Stopping her fondling immediately almost as if commanded directly Ashe drooped her head and admitted, "You could immediately bend me over and... screw my bottom to satiation and I'd let you do it if you desired."

"And make things worse? There's no way I'd do something to hur--"

"If you wanted to make me hurt, you could. I want to give you whatever you desire, Elliot." Ashe dropped her face straight down and to the side now, hiding a rush of blood to her head. "Those men I've serviced before? A part of me enjoyed it, relished in the idea that they were willing to pay anything just for some simple bodily contact. But with you..." She slowly forced herself to look back in the general vicinity of the otter she loved, though her sight actually glanced barely over the top of his head. "...I don't want to rent myself out for you. Rather, I want to give all of myself to you if that makes any sense."

"So taking the whole 'I'm yours' thing to a whole new level then..." Ellie muttered out loud, his thick tail swishing nervously as he stood up straight. "I think I get what you're saying, but I've never really... uh..."

Ashe stood as well, though not so innocently as she brought Ellie's paw to her crotch. "Just know that I will never decline anything you ask of me, however silly or serious it may sound. I want to make the man I love happy, so you should use me however you like."

Cupping his palm over her mound so it wouldn't have much impact on her at all Elliot responded, "That's... something I could try, maybe. But if we're to agree on that, there's two things concerning me. First, the same has to go for you. I don't want to treat you like a fancy toy without giving you the chance to make things even. Alright?"

"So... you desire that I control you on occasion?" Ashe rocked and sunk down her hips, hoping to get more out of that paw than she currently was but never reaching anywhere near her desired result. She gave up and pressed herself against Ellie for a hug, draping her head over his shoulder with a sigh. "I did say I'd never refuse your requests. If you desire that, I can attempt my best effort."

"Good, because I'd feel like a scumbag abusing her girlfriend otherwise." Ellie pulled his paw away and brought both around Ashe's back to enclose their embrace. "Second is that I'm not doing anything without a way of knowing when I'm really crossing a line. A safeword maybe."

"We'll come up with something, I'm sure." The way Ellie gripped her shoulder blades made Ashe rethink her answer and tentatively decide, "Alright, we can use 'phosphor' for now. Is that acceptable?"

"Of course you'd come up with a word like that, silly girl. Fine, that'll work. Don't be afraid to use it if you're in too deep. It might make me happy to keep going but I'd be happier knowing I wasn't doing any real damage to you. I do love you after all."

"And I love you too, Elliot. But since we're discussing terms here... Can I make a request too?" Ashe nuzzled into Ellie's neck and whispered, "I'm not sure but from the way the others have acted... I think it's a fair bit unconventional. You can refuse and I'll never bring it up again, I swear."

"What on Earth has ~you~ worried, Ashe? You just asked me... well, for a hell of a kink and I just gave you a go-ahead," Ellie lightly chuckled in a seemingly playful manner, though one of his paws slid up to cradle the back of Ashe's head against him to sooth the girl.

"Well... uh..." Ashe took a deep breath and then let it out through her nose, her sigh warmly rustling and displacing the fur on Elliot's shoulder and back. "I'd like to... continue servicing other men. But not like anything we would do! Uh... Just using my paws... and maybe my muzzle... maybe?"

Ellie actually had to take a moment to think about that request, his eyes almost bulging out his head at the thought of Ashe pawing off other men. When he finally found a feel for the topic though, he verbally thought out, "That's a part of you that you might not want to let go of, I guess. And it was... ~is~... sort of your job. It's not my place to tell you what you can and can't do for a living..." He pulled himself apart from Ashe and looked her right in the eyes, trying to judge exactly how she would take the next few words. "Maybe we could give it a trial run? Like, you can only do that sort of thing when I'm there? That might let me know... uh... Well, I need to find out how alright I'd be if you were intimate with men I didn't know."

"Intimate? No, it's just business. They want a woman to touch them so badly they'd pay for it, and I'm willing to fill that role. There's no feelings involved." Ashe moved her head forward and smiled when she bumped her nose against Ellie's in her botched attempt to give him a kiss. Succeeding the second time around she pulled away to say, "I only love ~you~, handsome. So if you deem it necessary to survey my 'job' as you call it, I absolutely understand. And if you don't approve I can change, for us."

"Good. We'll take it easy at first, because I want to change for the both of us as well. Learning some of the things that make you happy is part of that."

Ashe's tail began to lightly wag and her ears perked up at those last words. "So does this mean you'll try having intercourse with me right now? We can relocate to the basement if this is too cramped..."

"Nope! My first command is that you are ~not to have sex~ until your tush feels better," chortled Elliot with a sly smile. "Then you get all the bumpin' an' grindin' you can handle, hee heeeeee..."

"No intercourse because my... 'tush' hurts?" Ashe groaned out as her face wrinkled in disappointment.

Elliot gave the Arctic wolf a peck on her nose and confirmed, "Because your tush hurts."


"Want me to override the floor lights? Might be better to crank up the room with all of us here," Adrian offered as he held open the back door to the lab.

Ilaria was one step ahead, giving Dee a pat on his shoulder as she passed through the door and went for the light control panel across the room. "Might as well. We're gonna be here a bit anyway." Ari tapped on the touchscreen a few times and then slid a digital slider until the floor panels equally lit the room without becoming blinding. Looking back to the others as they settled about the center of the lab she then asked, "Hey, anyone see Sprite? I thought she'd want to see us after leaving her here."

Iolvin looked about and simple replied, "Nope. She's always clinging to you though, sis. You don't have some way of calling her?"

"Nah, nothing special. She just hears me." Ari checked the corners of the room then the ceiling struts, both favorite hiding spots for the fairy hybrid. She wasn't in sight, and the lights in the other rooms were extinguished just like the main room. Something wasn't right. "Sprite? Spri~te?"

"Maybe someone popped in and she's hiding?" Robyn proposed as she slowly came to her otter's side.

"Gods, that's what I'm afraid of." Ari hunched forward and bent her knees, checking beneath the lab tables on her side of the room. Still nothing. "Those two guys are stalking me, after all."

"You don't know ~what~ they're doing. Though it does give me the creeps all the same," the squirrel mentioned as a chill visibly shivered down her spine.

"Sprite?!" tried Ari one last time as she stood up straight. "Shit. Wanna help find her guys? I'm worried about her. Plus... I'd feel a lot better about tonight if I had toes and claws on my new hindpaw. We need her."

"Sure thing, Lulu. I'll check the lockers," Yoyo confirmed.

Robyn took a good breath and then walked over to the desks in the nearby corner. "I'm a tiny little thing so I'll check under everything. Maybe you should peek in on what she was workin' with, yeah?"

"Good idea. I think she was building that framework of hers in the range." Ilaria looked about for Dee to see what he was going to do, but ended up taking a headcount instead. "Where's everyone else?"

"Oh, we're out here!" Dee shouted from the loading dock, the rear door propped open with a gas bomb with the hazard code for hydrogen across the side.

"This thing better be empty, Dee," grumbled Ari as she walked over to the door, a quick rasp of her claws against the side confirming that it indeed was running dry. "Sprite didn't escape to out here did she?" She peeked her head outside and found the otter and his sister huddled over Ashe and India, generating pangs of concern and luring Ari out to help. "Hey, what's wrong? Need me to grab the med-kit?"

"We're just trying to help her inside. She's taking the lack of good drugs pretty badly," Dee informed as he did his half of lifting the wolf girl from beneath an arm.

"Looks like withdrawl's a bitch for whatever it was she was taking." Elliot started moving with Ashe hanging over his shoulder as well, Ari popping back inside ahead of the three to clear the metal cylinder and hold the door open herself. "Thanks. You have any sugar and water you could rummage up? It's no glucose mix but it would help."

"So she's doing worse than this morning?" Ari asked as she watched the three clear the reach of the door. This time she let the pneumatic hinge shut itself, heading over to the side of Dee's desk where they kept a small fridge filled with various drinks and treats. "I'm guessing real sugar's what you need and not the artificial kinds. Umm..." She snagged a bottled water and went for the coffee machine to find the sugar. Soon she brought the requested items over to a table they'd set Ashe down atop.

"Thanks. She'll be a little better once this gets in her system," Ellie smiled back as he got to work mixing a generous portion of sugar into the water bottle and gave it a few shakes.

"S-s-sugar? I d-dont handle th-that too well..." Ashe jittered out, the girl seemingly riddled with anxiety. "C-can't we j-just... uh... get me s-some m-m-more and not w-worry...?"

"Ashe, Ellie's a doctor. Let hi--... ~her~ do what she can for you, okay? You'll have to ween off that stuff one way or another once we figure out how to get that oxydium to replace it anyway." Ilaria looked over to the otter in question, a hint of apology in her expression for the gender confusion, and asked, "Can we do anything to comfort her? Calm her down even?"

"If you've still got some of that anesthetic we could try to sedate her. It's what we'd do in the hospital, though admittedly with purpose-built sedatives and an I.V. drip of nutrients."

"What?! No!" Ashe nearly fell off the table as she tried to back away, curling up into a fetal position when she ran out of tabletop. "I d-don't want to go to sleep! Please! I'll do b-better, I s-swear!"

Ellie calmly brought the cool bottle to one of Ashe's paws and softly cooed, "It'll be a rough few hours, beautiful. I'd rather not see you suffer through the worst of it. Besides, I'll be watching you the whole time." He leaned in closer and nudged the bottom of the bottle upwards. "Remember earlier? I want you to drink all of this and then let me put you to sleep for a bit. If it's really something you're not comfortable with, you only need to say one thing."

Ashe stared forward into nothingness, eventually finding the will to break free of her quivering mess of being to bring the bottle up to her lips. Once about half of the slurry was down her hatch she choked out, "Not easy to... uh... to drink..."

"Good, I'll be right back. Okay Ashe? Just grabbing something so I can put you under," Ellie quietly pinged as he helped the trembling love of his life to lay across the table.

With a nod as his reply Ilaria watched Elliot jog over to find their home-brewed anesthetic. "I think we left it on Dee's desk, dear," she aided as her attention momentarily settled on her little sister, only to switch fully to her task of finding Sprite once things appeared taken care of with Ashe. Weaving through tables and chairs towards the weapons testing chamber Ari further said, "I'll be in the range if you need anything else and Dee can't help. Oh, and could you guys help find Sprite once things settle down?"

Adrian nodded back as she reached the door and confirmed, "Sure, I'll join you in a minute." Spotting his sister fidgeting with something in his purse as he perused the desks Dee added, "Might make some coffee first though. Anything's better than chain smoking like you do, sis."

"Yeah, I don't need that either. Was hard enough quitting the cigars myself." Ari pulled open the door to the range and slipped inside, her eyes immediately darting to the floor. She scanned the immediate area and found no signs of the nanite fairy. "Sprite, you hiding in here?" The room only returned silence save the faint hum of the room's self-contained air system. Ari popped the gate into the firing lanes open and started towards the back, focusing on the mostly-complete project Sprite had been building. Then as she approached a few yards of the contraption Ilaria found her quarry. Running up to the almost 'melted' collection of nanites Ilaria touched Sprite with her paw and gasped, "Are you alright?! Sprite, wake up!"

Upon making contact with Ari's paw pads Sprite started to glow brighter. A pawful of seconds later she began regaining her normal form, using her newly remolded face to stare back at Ari with a smile. Ilaria's phone chirped and she immediately dug in her jeans to read, <Apologies, Mistress. How may we serve you?>

"Gods, I thought you were damaged!" Ari sighed in relief. She pulled back her paw to give the tiny girl room to move about and get on her hindpaws. Bringing her phone back up in anticipation she then asked, "What happened to you? Why were you... sleeping or whatever that was?"

Standing and then bowing her head slowly Sprite replied, <We didn't want to be located for our masters' sakes. Two unknown reptiles entered the laboratory so we entered a low-power state to avoid detection. Inoperable time totals to three hours, seven minutes, and fifty-eight seconds.>

"That might have been some new cleaning guys... but they should know not to enter the lab..." Ari offered her free paw to lift Sprite up and the pixie fluttered aboard for a quick ride to Ari's shoulder. "I don't know who they are but we're not taking any chances. We're moving your stuff to my basement." She looked over to the gun cabinet and decided upon another safety measure, her paw reaching into her other pocket for her keys. "Never can be too safe. Oh! Right, I need you to give me some toes and stuff before this damned leg of yours gets me killed. Think you can do that before tonight?"

<We have schematics and materials set aside for that exact augment, as per your request thirty-four hours ago. Estimated build time is one hour, twenty minutes, and nine seconds.>

"We need to work on the whole 'yes / no' concept with you, silly thing. Well get whatever you need and bring it out in the main lab. I'll lend you my leg once I'm at my desk." Sprite fluttered her wings progressively faster until she hovered, gliding away to do the task she was given with no more than a nod and a drawn out, cricket-like chirp in affirmation. Once Sprite was off and she'd found the desired key, Ilaria walked over to the reinforced glass cabinet in the corner and toggled the lock. Reaching in to grab her personal handgun she muttered, "Just in case..." She put her phone away and used both paws to affix her slide holster, gun and all, to the small of her lower back. A click of the glass and a turn of the key were all that kept Ilaria from heading back out into the main room, where she then immediately went for the fresh pot of coffee. "Thanks for this, Dee. You use the new stuff I bought?"

"Yeah, it's better than the bag we let go stale," he responded. As he stood to fix himself and his sister a cup now that it was done brewing Dee additionally queried, "How's the search going? Find her yet?"

"Oh, duh! Sorry, I found her by her little project." Ari shook her head at herself and then repeated a little louder, "Hey Robyn, Yoyo? I found Sprite." As she finished informing the others she haphazardly brought her steam-billowing cup of joe to her lips and immediately cursed, "FUCK that's hot!" as she yanked the ceramic cup from her muzzle.

"You're acting clumsier than usual," Dee giggled despite Ari's pained flesh.

"Which means something's bothering her. Ottah's always been like that," chimed in Robyn as she regrouped around the coffee maker for her own mug of the black.

Ilaria took a light breath and then slowly blew at the steam over her cup as if it would hasten the cooling process. "Well... I'm just still on edge after that crap at the mall I guess..." She carefully tipped the mug back just enough to sip from the top, but Ari found herself tipping until her teeth hit something hard instead. When she looked into her cup to explain the impact her face started to match her baffled state of mind. "The... fuck...?" she pondered as she held her cup out for the others to see, sideways by way of emphasis.

When no liquid came pouring out the other two soon became intrigued as well. Finally Dee managed to say what they were all thinking. "Is your coffee... ~frozen~?"

"Bloody amazing..." Robyn huffed as she went in for a closer look only to, "Eep!" as the now-solid chunk of brew slid free and cracked upon the floor.

"Uh... yeah. Add that to the list of super powers, will ya'?" Ilaria sat down in her chair and placed the ceramic cup on her desk before hunching forward to gather up the bits of frozen treat on the floor. "So remind me not to think cold thoughts when I'm touching either of you. Oh, Sprite." Ari sat back up to find the fairy girl gathering up the smaller pieces she'd missed. "Thanks. You'll have to explain how I did that sometime, too." When her pocket lit up and chimed out a tone she added a more literal, "Later. I need my leg fixed up now."

"So she can do what does ya' best, love?" Robyn asked as she watched the tiny girl heave shards of iced coffee like they were boulders.

Ari placed her bits of creamy black in her mug for lack of a better place and then started unclasping her prosthesis from her stump. "Yep. Should be about an hour and a half. Then we get to move some stuff back home and maybe come up with a game plan for tonight's job."

"Hey, that might work out perfectly," Ellie commented as he walked over to put down the anesthetic where he'd found it. "Just put Ashe to sleep so she's out for a few hours. She should be up by the time we roll out, I think. Well, if I did the math right with that gas anyway."

"No rush, hon. We can put off our little heist if Ashe isn't feeling better later," Ilaria offered.

Ellie huffed out a sigh and disappointingly replied, "I don't think that's a good idea. Yeah, she's working the drugs out her system... but an equal part of what's messing with her is her own head. She says this oxydium will balance her out, so we sort of need to hurry in getting some made."

"One step at a time, Ellie. My leg first, then we can bag us the other stuff we need, then we make the stuff. And don't forget we still have to find out how to get it all in her safely." Ari finished removing her leg, shoving her keyboard forward and laying it down on her desk. "Don't worry. We'll make it all work."

"Blimey..."

The two creamy otters tilted their heads at Robyn's comment, while Ilaria knowingly played, "~What~?"

Robyn smirked to her lover and then faced the others to explain, "That's what she's always said when she's got no clue. Improvising. Flying by the seat of her pants."

"I could always change into a skirt," cooed Ari playfully.

A few giggles evolved into chortles as Robyn grinned out, "Gods, why'd I have to pick a damned silly ottah..."

"You know you love me," giggled Ari right back, closing the distance with her muzzle.

"Gods help me, no one else will," Robyn retorted as she drew in herself and finished Ari's quick kiss.


"So how's this puzzle coming together? I'd much like to tag along if you'll let me, Ottah."

"Hold your horses, Munchkin..." Ilaria muttered back to Robyn as she fiddled about with her new modifications to her leg. Flexing the new toes and claws of her artificial limb she finally gave into inevitability and stepped out of Robyn's passenger seat. "Sprite, you're killin' me homes. I still don't get your logic."

Ari reached into her pocket and yanked out her phone to read the almost guaranteed reply, <Mistress's prosthesis retains full purposed functionality of her organic equivalent. We apologize if the appearance is different, however our design is more flexible and efficient.>

"I only have two toes! And how the hell do I swim with no webbing?!" she blurted back to the automaton.

<Apologies. We shall fix our undesired work at the next available opportunity.>

"It'll be alright, love. Maybe give it a try before ya' knock it though. Us normal furs don't get to try out new body parts like that." Robyn shut her door but left the car unlocked in case they needed to get back inside in a jiffy. "No worries, yeah? Just put your all into the task at paw for now."

"You're right... Ugh. I'll do what I can." Ari looked at the target building and gave it a quick inspection, finding one particular detail that popped out more than the rest to her. "See how that fence ends right where the windows are blown out? You thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Different lot maybe? Possibly abandoned?"

"Yeah, I'm thinking abandoned section too. Don't know if they own it or something happened, but I'm betting that one wing connects to the other inside." Ilaria placed her phone back in her jeans pocket and went over to one of the windows to peer inside. "Hmm, I bet we could break in through here and avoid most of security," she commented as she checked inside, eventually bringing her artificial hindpaw up to kick out the broken glass and create more of an opening. "Oh, nice! There's even shutter doors all over. We could back Yoyo's jeep up and grab this thing easy."

"That settles it then. I can't lift for bollocks so the boys'll have to grab that press." Robyn reached for her phone presumably to clue the others in on the plan. "Good job on the recon, Ottah. This place isn't as locked up as we--"

"Ah, I got that. Can you try and get through here and open the door for me?" Ilaria kicked out the last of the glass in the window frame and stood back. As Robyn agreed and went to slip into the gap Ari stared off into the direction she believed her brother was parked. After a few attempts to focus her thoughts she eventually beamed out, «Hey Yoyo? Drive down that alley we went in. I think we've found an opening.»

A few seconds later a very fuzzy, «Sure thing, Lulu. Need any help or you guys got this?» came back.

«Just back up by the metal shutters and leave the rest to us. We still need to break into this place,» Ari replied to her brother, her message a lot clearer and easier to send now that she could lock onto his own signal.

«Gotcha.»

«_ __nt t_ h_lp too g__s,» Adrian attempted to add to the conversation, his message garbled but not totally void of interpretation.

«Don't worry, Dee. We can't heave heavy machinery so you guys can do that part,» Ari shot back to the new signal.

<The required component measures approximately fifty centimeters cubed an weighs approximately forty kilograms,> Sprite suddenly attached onto the conversation, not in words but in mental text that in Ilaria's case even appeared in her nanite glasses like a heads-up display.

"Woah, you never said you could do that, Sprite!" Ilaria glanced to her shoulder at the fairy girl and additionally requested, "If you're talking just to me, go ahead and do whatever you just did. It's easier to read just in my glasses."

<Affirmative, Mistress,> the tiny goo girl directly wrote across the top of Ari's glasses lenses as she gestured a matching nod.

With a loud clack the door unlocked and revealed a smiling Robyn. "That was easy," she grinned back, obviously proud she she could help and likely because her size was useful for once. "Ari? You comin', Ottah?"

"Oh, yeah. Sorry, I was just making sure Yoyo didn't have more to say. The machinery in there might make it hard to get a good signal."

"Say that again?"

Ari took a moment to cross through the door before explaining, "Right, I never told you that little bit of coolness. We figured out the nanites let us send messages to each other." She took a good look around the large work floor and tried to spot a weakness in the main building's perimeter. "Well, Dee's got a bit of catching up to do but it's... useful."

"Way to make me even more jealous..." muttered Robyn as she paced the concrete floor. "You three just have to share everything, don't you?"

Ilaria put her analysis of the room on hold and looked her squirrel in the eyes. "You're still worried about that? I swear, that was my first time with Dee..." She walked over to loom above Robyn, her paws resting on her shoulders. "If you want to talk about it more, I'm all for that. And if you think we shouldn't be so close... Well, that might be for the best."

"Maybe we should just focus on what we're doin' here..." Robyn sighed out as she broke their light embrace.

"And let this cloud up our heads while...? Ugh." Giving into the request with a sigh of her own Ari pointed to another metal shutter on the far wall. "I bet that's locked from inside, for obvious reasons. But that..." She raised her arm towards a metal door on the third floor, or what was left of it. Most of the second and third levels resided on the first in the form of rubble, with odd metal braces and struts remaining bent but in place. "...just might be open. Think it's worth a try?"

"Y-yeah... Give it a shot, Ottah. I'll, uh... I'll wait for the others."

"Yeah, might be best if only one of us goes. Doesn't look too sturdy." Ari plotted a path or three and tried to determine which would be safest. She eventually settled on a column along the wall to her left, the metal cross-strut sagging low enough to grab with a jump. She did just that, hopping and then pulling in sequence to make better use of the momentum. Once her upper torso was above the I-beam she simply hooked a leg over and stood as close to the column and wall as possible. Checking that her footing was good, her new leg adjustments proving useful for smaller balance shifts, she looked down to Robyn and commented, "Yup, not so easy to slide on metal now that I've got claws."

"That's good, love..." Just as Ari went to grab a rickety but fairly intact walkway Robyn suddenly spoke up, "Ilaria... I slept with your brother. With Yoyo."

Ilaria almost lost her balance and pushed off the walkway section, though probably for the better when it collapsed flat against the wall. Glaring back down at Robyn she demanded, "You what?! When?!"

"When you were recovering in your bed..." Robyn looked back up pleadingly with the beginnings of tears in her eyes and added, "He was doing it in his sleep and I couldn't stop him. I mean, he's bigger than me and all... So I let him finish." She ran up to the column and looked straight up at her otter to further elaborate, "I've known about you two since then. He was calling your name while he... we..."

"It's... alright. He's done that to me before. What's to say he wouldn't do it again?" Ari eased up for a few seconds as she checked her backup path. "So you're caught up on everyone fucking each other? Feeling guilty over it all?"

"I guess that's... sort of it. I mean, I thought it might be fun to keep that a secret. I even wanted to see if we could fool around more." As some concrete dust ground free of the column Robyn took a step back and coughed the abrasive material from her lungs. "Gah... But after eyeing what it was like on the other end of that mess I jus--"

"I think we should all have a night together. Maybe swap partners if Dee and my brother are up to it." Ilaria calmly put her back to the wall and kicked off it, leaping at speed from the end of the girder. She landed on the matching brother of the I-beam, one that protruded out two ends of a central column. Hugging her new platform she looked down to append, "If you're up for that sort of thing as well."

"But... you mean an orgy or something? I thought you were sticky with those sorts of things..." The squirrel followed her lover from below, a hint of worry on her dusty face now.

Ilaria took a moment to move, grabbing the column and hopping around to the other side. After regaining her balance she leaned back against the cool concrete and answered, "I'll admit, I'm not exactly looking forward to it a hundred percent. But if you're going to see just exactly what we mean to each other then you need to be a part of it, no doubt. So if I have to step out of my comfort zone a bit I will, if only to do what's right for you."

"I know I've been pushy," Robyn groaned as she walked around the column to reconnect her gaze with Ari's, "but you don't have to do that for me, Ottah."

"You're right, I don't ~have~ to. I ~want~ to, because I love you, Munchkin." Ari readied herself and pressed off the column like before, crossing the gap to another girder stuck in the right wall. However unlike the other wall this one had more or less intact walkways as well as a set of metal stairs leading up to where the foreman's office used to reside. Starting up the cornered stairwell with timid, testing steps Ari soon found herself having to raise her voice towards Robyn. "I'll leave the final decision up to you, and you can even plan things out however you'd like. I just want us on equal ground, not feeling like we owe each other anything. That's not how you have a healthy relationship, and I'm in this for the long haul."

"Yeah... So am I, love," Robyn mentioned as she pat something in her pant pocket subconsciously. "So am I."

"Feeling better already, are we?" Ari tested the connecting platform that led to her target door and stepped across once she was satisfied it could hold her weight. "Okay, Munchkin. Game-face time. Not sure if security's on the other side, especially with that noise we made." She received a nod from the squirrel down below and waited for her to hide behind a pillar. Once things looked clear Ari tried the push-bar on the door, finding the metal surface was unusually secure for its obscure position. "And locked... What now?"

Robyn peeked around her cover and shouted, "Those nanites get to take the piss with your body all the time. Maybe start putting 'em to good use more often."

"Well I think I can do that... if I heard that correctly anyway," Ari chuckled as she brought a paw to the door. "No hinges on this side," she thought out loud, trying to speed things up by letting Robyn have a chance for input. "Probably a lock on the latch inside. Not sure there's much I can do about that."

"You could try that bit with the coffee earlier, if you know how that works. If you freeze the latch enough it'll throw a spanner in the gears. That steel should get brittle at about a hundred or so below." Robyn poked most of her upper body around the column to inspect the door better, but quickly hid herself when Ilaria noticed.

"Stay back, honey. If anyone comes to get us it'll be down there." Ari brought her paws to the latch and hunched in closer to inspect the light filtering through. The latch itself was clearly visible but it appeared there was a bar and padlock on the other end, slightly higher up. "Hmm, can't really reach the lock from this side. They did a good job." Ari slid her paws and gaze over to the other crack in the door, easily finding the backs of the hinge plates where they screwed into the door. If there were one weakness the attachment surfaces would be it. "Okay, here goes. Any tips?"

"A crowbar would help. Umm, but seriously," Robyn peeped her head out for a moment and pleaded, "stand back and be careful when you break it. I don't want to be yanking shards of metal from your paws."

"Ah! Back, short-stuff!" joked Ilaria as she tried to freeze the door, her thoughts not quite settling on the right imagery to kick her nanites into gear. Her paw went to the top hinge and felt how cold it already was when compared to the warm air. Cool was a good reference, bringing Ari's mind to the times she needed to quickly dry her claws after painting them. She always dunked them in ice water and could barely take the pins and needles for her count of thirty seconds before her digits would go stiff and numb. She projected that sensation over the one she felt now, a thin cloud of amber swarming over the hinge and soaking into it as if on demand. Then the temperature started to drop until it was cold as ice, though that wasn't quite her target. Then it hit her, the image of an action movie where a large robot was shattered by liquid nitrogen. Suddenly the metal started to squeal and creak, a hint of hazy moisture wafting off the affected surface. "Ooh, I think that got it! Keep hidden for a minute, alright? And Sprite?" The fairy pulled herself over Ilaria's shoulder to acknowledge the call. "If something happens I need you to relay the details to Robyn and the others. Got it?"

Sprite nodded and interlaced a message over Ilaria's field of vision. <We will comply, Mistress.>

Ilaria smiled to herself as she worked the other two hinges with her nanite magic. When she finally got all three misty cold she recalled her nanites, including the ones constituting her glasses, and created a small but solid crowbar. "Wish me luck," she said as she wedged the faux pry-bar into the gap mid-height. Then with a solid kick against the tool and her arms shielding her face she heard the crack of the flimsy metal brackets and could see more light peeking through the edge of the door. She repositioned the crowbar and gave it a second attempt, the higher kick breaking the door free of its hinges entirely. "Got it! Okay, I'll see what I can do from here. Hold on."

"I'll be right here," Robyn shouted in a lower tone from behind her hiding spot. "Be careful, Ottah."

With a simple, "I will," Ilaria pulled the door back, using the lock and latch as a new hinge. Slipping through the gap she had to be careful about the razor-sharp remnants of the steel hinge flaps, giving her little squirrel engineer some credit to her worries. She really did know what she was talking about after all. Checking the large factory space on the other end of the wall Ilaria found... nothing. The lights were off, there were no guards... Something didn't feel right about the situation. This factory made diamonds for crying out loud! Sure they were just industrial grade, but the equipment alone would be highly desirable all the same to a less-educated hooligan. "Sprite, can you see anything? I can't tell if there's cameras or not," Ari queried as she slipped through and clung to the wall.

When her phone chirped with a message Ari rolled her eyes and dissolved her crowbar. Using her newly-reformed glasses as a canvas Sprite beamed, <Our visual sensor array detects changes upon the majority of the electromagnetic spectrum and is not hindered by lack of 'visible' light. We do not detect any peripheral spectrum sensors or projectors, Mistress.>

"I guess they just lock the place up really well and call it a day..." Ari struggled with the darkness of the room, until eventually an overlay highlighting the hard edges of everything in the room layered over her glasses. "Woah! What the hell?!"

<We are rendering a simplified version of gamma radiation convergence for Mistress. We hope Mistress is better able to accomplish her task with this aid.>

"Ah, thanks Sprite. I'd be blind without that." Ilaria made her way over a similar walkway to the previous room, soon coming to the conclusion that this building was a mirrored clone of the last but without the deterioration and destruction. Realizing this, she quickly found her path to the first floor, a ladder at the end of the stairs in the corner. She quickly jogged down to the second level and then hooked the ladder, sliding down with all four of her paws and sending a few sparks from her metal one. "Okay, so you can draw crap on my glasses huh? Can you highlight whatever it is we need to borrow?"

<Certainly, Mistress,> Sprite messaged as a few glitches appeared on her existing live rendering. Once the kinks were worked out a simplified three-dimensional rendering of a diamond press core appeared in Ari's vision, then translated and scaled to the actual position of each in the building. <Three units are installed on the first floor, Mistress. We suggest loading the unit by paw through the lower hatchway.>

"Yeah, this one here by the shutters..." Ari checked the barred pathway in question and easily found a way to remedy the situation. The unit was a simple electronic motor system, and as such was near-impossible to open without using the controls from the inside. Ari leaned in close and read the worn labels on each of the buttons of the unit, finding a yellow one that read 'roll upw__d' on the side. She simply pressed and held that switch and watched as the mangled description held true, calling out to Robyn once the doorway was fully open. "Robby? It's okay. The place is dead silent."

Rolling out from around her column with an almost disappointed look on her face Robyn commented, "Aww, I was almost hoping for something interesting to happen. The last run was harder than this one."

"Yeah, but Ashe would beg to differ. If the other jobs are this easy she might not suffer as much." Ilaria tried to send out a message to her brother but only got static in return. "Okay, I'll watch the factory just in case someone is actually here. Can you go get the boys in here so we can load this thing? Doesn't seem to be a hurry so don't push yourself with that door."

"Sure thing, Ottah," Robyn smiled as she walked over to the rear shutter to work on opening it.

"And you, Sprite..." Smiling, Ari looked to the nanite girl and asked, "Can you check on Ashe for me? I'll be fine without the night vision and Ashe's condition is concerning me now."

<As you wish, Mistress. We will also aid the other masters with gaining entrance if you wish.>

"Sure, that would be great. Just try not to raise suspicion in case someone's being nosy outside." With a nod Ari watched the fairy flutter away, and the additional range came ever-decreasing clarity in her enhanced vision. Once she was left to her own devices Ilaria paced about the eerily-quiet room. Something still didn't seem right about this place, but she couldn't put her finger on what. She heard a cluttered rustling sound and grabbed for her pistol, easing her paw off as she realized it was simply Robyn jerking on the unpowered shutter door. "Shit, girl... it's nothing. You're just paranoid because of that--"

"Because of ~me~?" someone growled out from the dark behind the otter. Just as she went back for her gun a second time Ari's arm was caught by the unknown fur. "Thanks for showing me you were armed, bitch."

Ilaria knew this voice. No, she knew this position too. The last time she was restrained with him behind her she was face-down in the sand. "You?! Shi--haug!!"

"We've been through this before, bitch. Shut up or I'll make you shut up," The assailant hissed as he used his other paw to clamp down around Ari's throat. He spun her around and held her up off the ground by her neck adding, "You fucking made me look like an idiot the other day so I think it's about time I returned the favor." The liger of Ari's nightmares walked over to the far back of the room where nobody would hear them and dropped her to her knees. "And guess what you're gonna do to make nice."

Ilaria watched as the hulking mass of a cat unclasped his belt and pants, then yanked out his engorging cock so it rested on her muzzle. Frozen in place, Ilaria stammered nonsense at the thought of what was about to happen. Where did this fucker come from? How'd he even know where they would be? And why the hell was he so intent on raping her? As questions flushed through her brain Ilaria found herself unable to resist and instead babbled out, "I... I can't..."

"No? Then I will." The liger grabbed Ari both by the jaw and against the back of her head, opened her muzzle near his barbed tip, and thrust the entirety of his length straight down her throat. Once he'd gotten himself lodged right where he wanted he took his one paw off her jaw and gathered up both Ari's wrists above her head so he could start thrusting uninhibited. "Hrrrrrr... Damn that's a fine mouth, bitch," he purred as he gave a few deeper thrusts. Holding the last one as far deep as he could, he purred even louder as Ari's gagging became more pronounced when her air supply started running out. "Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot that short muzzle o' yours doesn't mix well with cock, hehe." Ilaria started fighting back instinctively and her throat began rippling to reject the intruder, but that only enticed him to stay put. Right when Ari was starting to black out from lack of oxygen the liger roughly yanked her away by her hair and forced her to stand even as she gasped for fresh air. "Don't think it's over yet, crazy bitch. That mouth of yours did such a good job you deserve a reward."

The brute let go of Ari's arms and reached down to rip her jeans off her hips. He gave up on working the toggles and zipper and instead resorted to ripping the entire bottom of the crotch out with his claws and surprising strength. "No!" Ilaria managed to cough out in response, until that strong paw came soaring into the side of her face.

"I said shut the ~fuck~ up, bitch!" He gave Ari another hard slug, this time landing harshly on her eye and stealing the fight from the girl entirely. The liger reached back down and effortlessly yanked off Ari's purple panties then crammed them into her muzzle as a makeshift gag. "See? You're quiet so you get your reward now..." With that he threw Ilaria on the ground, lifted her leg, and slammed himself as far into her dry pussy as he could manage. With a grunt he kept pressing against her inner mouth, punching painfully through her cervix with his barbs grinding the inside of her womb. Then without much notice at all, he bucked in and out of her inner chamber a few times and then held himself as deep as he could go. Ilaria desperately wondered why he'd stopped but the sores inside her lit up like kerosine to a match when the liger started flooding her with his thick, hot seed.

"Hey, where's Lulu?" Iolvin's voice echoed through the room.

"Checking the perimeter I guess," Robyn answered.

The liger held Ari against the ground and grabbed her throat threateningly as he commented, "See? They don't know anything, bitch. I can do whatever I want and nobody'll come to save you."

"Huh, guess so. Okay guys, let's get this thing loaded up," Yoyo forfeited as he changed the topic.

"Ready... Steady... Go! Hrrrg!..." Robyn and the others slowly grunted their way over to the far shutter, apparently not able to back Yoyo's jeep through the rubble.

"Hehe, they just up and left you to me, bitch. Such good friends." The liger pulled himself free once he was done soiling Ilaria's folds with his filth and brought his thick member back to her muzzle and yanked out the gag. "Now clean it," he demanded, not giving the girl a choice as he shoved himself back inside her warm mouth. Ilaria just wanted to get this over with as soon as possible and started doing as she was told, using her tongue to speed things up. Yet her actions led to an unexpected side effect of making the limp tiger meat in her mouth hard enough to work back into her throat again.

"A-Adem!" an unknown voice hushed out a name, coming into view to reveal the rabbit she'd seen a day ago as well. "Adem, stop this! This wasn't in our orders!"

"Sort of in the middle of something, in case you didn't notice," the liger, 'Adem', growled out harshly as he started wildly pumping back into Ilaria's throat faster and harder than before.

"We're just supposed to watch, Adem! Besides... this is wrong!" pleaded the coffee-colored rabbit as he futilely tried to pull Adem's arm.

"Fuck off, Car! I'm almost done anyway, so sit your ass down." Sure enough Ari could feel Adem's cock start to throb and expand, his nubby barbs getting much harder at the apex of each thrust.

"Ademeus! Please!" The rabbit... no, a European hare from the extra details Ari could spot from up close... stood next to Ari and held onto the liger's shoulders. "I'm begging you... I know a part of you hears me, Adem... So please, ~stop this~!"

Ademeus slipped himself deep into Ilaria's throat and held himself there, a few seconds later blasting rope after rope of his cream right on the path to her stomach with a low, purring growl. "Fuuuck...!" He huffed and puffed as he rode out his orgasm, looking into this 'Car' guy's eyes as he calmed down. "I'm... Shit, I'm sorry little buddy..." was all Ilaria could make out as she started blacking out again, the liger pulling himself free a bit too late to keep her awake.

"C'mon... Let's get out of here..." Car mumbled as they left Ilaria half-nude on the ground with cum leaking from both ends of her.

"Y-yeah... Let's--"

"Ari? Aaaaaaariiiiii~? We're done, Ottah..." Robyn called out as she started to roam the darker areas of the factory floor.

"Shit. Back to rendezvous, Carmine." Ademeus took a gander at Robyn, waiting until she was facing another direction to add, "Double time."

"Hmm? What was that?" Robyn mumbled to herself as she snapped her head towards the sound of the two strangers clearing out a front door. "Ottah, this isn't funny. You know I get scared in dark places..." She crept ever closer to the source of the sound when she suddenly saw the silhouette of a body slumped on the ground. "Shit!!" she shrieked out at the sight, fighting every instinct in her body to about-face and get the hell out of Dodge and instead running to help the fallen fur. When she saw the thick rudder tail and traced it up to her leaking slit, Robyn reached out and pulled up her love so she rested in her arms. "Ilaria, no!" She tried to check the unconscious otter for wounds and only managed to spot her swelling eye socket. Unsure how to help her any further Robyn let instinct take hold and screamed out, "Yoyo!! Yoyo, come here!!"

"What's the fuss, squirrely?" Iolvin answered as he came back through the shutter door.

"Ari's been...!" Robyn finally caught onto the fact that there was pearly white leaking from the corner of her muzzle and heightened her panic. Tears rolling down her face she again tried, "She needs help!!"

"What?! What's happened?!" shouted Yoyo as he ran over to the source of Robyn's voice. Upon spotting the familiar sight the only thing that filtered through his confused mind was, "Seriously? Again?"

"YOYO?!"

"Sorry... Just... I've been through this before and--"

Robyn hefted the larger otter up as far as she could manage and angrily yelled back, "I don't... I don't wanna know! Just fucking help!"

"R-right, yeah..." Pulling his sister's arms over his shoulder and then heaving her over his back he started shambling back to Robyn's car. "We need to get her home..." he grunted as he stepped over a broken platform.

"The hell we do! She needs to go to damned hospital, idiot!" protested the enraged squirrel.

"No, you're not getting me..." Iolvin huffed out as he paused to check his path through the junk and rubble. Quickly tapping his own chest-piece before continuing he explained, "She's out of juice, and the batteries are in my room."

"Well... uh..." Robyn opened the passenger side door to her car and quickly got out the way. "Well you're still an idiot. And you've got some explaining to do when this is over, mister!"

"Like hell I do," muttered Iolvin as he draped his twin across the car seat and snapped her buckle in place. "Besides, it's none of you business anyway. Not my call who knows."

Robyn stared back at him as Yoyo backed away to jump in his own truck, causing him to halt when he saw the pathetic, tear-soaked mess on her face. "Yoyo... I love her..."

Iolvin slowly started back towards his vehicle, looking back to answer, "Not now... But sure thing, Robyn."
